May Xbox Game Pass lineup revealed: what to expect

May 06, 2025 5:49 PM

May 2025 introduces an exciting lineup of games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, featuring notable titles like Doom: The Dark Ages and Revenge of the Savage Planet. Doom: The Dark Ages reimagines the iconic series with a medieval twist, incorporating new gameplay elements such as a large shield and set prior to 2016's Doom. Following its predecessor, Revenge of the Savage Planet retains the quirky humor of the original but notes a possible loss of that carefree spirit in its gameplay experience. In total, Xbox Game Pass welcomes various games throughout May while also bidding farewell to several others, encouraging players to dive in before they’re gone.

What new titles are coming to Xbox Game Pass in May 2025?

New titles include Doom: The Dark Ages, Revenge of the Savage Planet, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, and many more, with some arriving on day one for subscribers.

Doom: The Dark Ages marks another iteration in the long-running Doom franchise, celebrated for its fast-paced combat and intense action. This new title promises to blend familiar elements with innovative medieval features, catering to both long-time fans and newcomers alike. Meanwhile, Revenge of the Savage Planet serves as a sequel to a beloved comedic action-adventure game, maintaining its predecessor's engaging mechanics and humor, while exploring new territories. These additions highlight Microsoft's commitment to providing a diverse gaming experience for their subscribers.

A medieval Doom spin sounds like the perfect excuse to slay demons with a sword *and* a shotgun—sign me up Though I’m a little worried Savage Planet’s sequel might trade its goofy soul for polish, and that’d be a real shame.

Medieval Doom with a shield Sounds like a wild twist, but I’m here for it—hopefully the chainsaw still gets its moment to shine. Also, Savage Planet’s sequel better not lose too much of that chaotic charm, or it’ll just feel like another space romp.
